The 2006 HVACR and Plumbing Instructor Workshop was a big success as 270-plus teachers attended sessions and discussed topics such as the latest classroom challenges, instructional techniques, and technology updates.
Low-pressure controls are used on many medium-temperature refrigeration systems to control case temperature. In order for this type of control to work properly, both its cut-in and differential pressure settings must be set correctly.
The presence of seven representatives of the China refrigeration industry at the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) Conference was emblematic of IIAR's "continuing efforts toward advocating ammonia refrigeration in the huge emerging market of China," according to Bill Bowles the 2005-2006 IIAR chair.
